Overproduction and Characterization of Recombinant Soluble Trypanosoma brucei Phospholipase A2
ABSTRACT Trypanosoma brucei phospholipase A2 (TbPLA2) is a validated drug target but the difficulty in expressing its soluble recombinant protein has limited its exploitation for drug and vaccine development for African and American trypanosomiases. We utilized recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology approaches to express soluble TbPLA2 in ...

Trypanosoma congolense Infections: Induced Nitric Oxide Inhibits Parasite Growth In Vivo
Wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 mice infected intraperitoneally with 5×106 Trypanosoma congolense survive for more than 30 days. C57BL/6 mice deficient in inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS−/−) and infected with 103 or 5×106 parasites do not control the ...

Biométrie, morphologie et virulence de Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense à travers 640 passages sur souris en 10 ans [PDF]
Trois souches de Trypanosoma congolense ont été récoltées en 1964 dans le Sud-Ouest du Sénégal et l'une d'elles passée sur souris pendant plus de 10 ans. Les trois souches présentent la variation Dimorphon.

Investigation of Novel Isatinylhydantoin Derivatives as Potential Anti‐Kinetoplastid Agents
A series of isatinylhydantoin derivatives were synthesized and investigated for antileishmanial and antitrypanosomal activities in vitro and in vivo. The derivative 5 was identified with higher leishmanicidal activity than the clinical drug amphotericin B while 4b was uncovered as in vitro trypanocidal hit against T. congolense parasite.

Improvement of blood and fly gut processing for PCR diagnosis of trypanosomosis [PDF]
Les auteurs ont adapté la technique de détection par PCR des trypanosomoses dans le sang humain, sans purification d'ADN, et augmenté le seuil de sensibilité à un parasite par ml. Ils l'ont ensuite appliquée à la détection de parasites dans les intestins

Characterisation of the surface coat of Trypanosoma congolense
THE protozoan parasites Trypanosoma congolense, T. brucei and T. vivax cause extensive disease problems to livestock in Africa1. In many cases trypanosomiasis results from mixed infections due to all three species2. Immunisation has not been successful because of the ability of the parasites to evade the host immune response by changing the antigenic ...
